We divide 489226 by 40
We want to divide 489226 by 40.

On to step 1:
40 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 48 / 40

Step 2:
When dividing 48 by 40, we get 1 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 40 away from 48, we end up with 8.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 89 / 40

Moving on to step 3:
The number 40 fits into 89 2 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtract 80 from 89 to get 9.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 92 / 40

Going ahead to step 4:
40 can be fit into 92 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 122.0
If we subtract 80 from 92, we get 12.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 122 / 40

Step 5:
122 divided by 40 is 3 with a remainder of 2.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1223.0
Subtracting 120 from 122 leaves us with 2.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 26 / 40

Step 6:
The number 40 fits into 26 0 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12230.0
If we subtract 0 from 26, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 260 by 40, we get 6 with a remainder of 20.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12230.6
Subtracting 240 from 260 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 200 by 40, we get 5 with a remainder of 0.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12230.65
Subtracting 200 from 200 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
0 divided by 40 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12230.65
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 0 by 40, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 12230.65
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The final result is 12230.65 with a remainder of 0.0.
